My favorite tweet of the week so far.

It is not enough to simply beat Trump. He must be destroyed thoroughly. His kind must not rise again.

I quite literally could not be more agreeable to this sentiment.

So is Bernie Sanders running against President Obama's record?

Sanders closing with Cornel West and embracing idea of Buyer's Remorse with @POTUS. Be honest then Senator - run firmly against Obama record

As I am sure many of you know David Plouffe was Obama's campaign manager in 2008, so he might be a little oversensitive here.

However I must add that Sanders has made a couple of remarks about the President, including talk about doing away with Obamacare and replacing it with some version of single payer, that have caused me some concern.

After all running against the record of President Obama is the job of the Republican candidates, not the Democratic candidates. 

And I will say this as well, if this race on the Left evolves into a contest between a candidate who embraces and promises to protect the gains made by this President, and a candidate who is underwhelmed and wants to upend the progress made by this President, I think that second candidate is going to find themselves facing quite a lot of backlash.

Sarah Palin, having had such success with an Obama adviser, decides to take on the White House itself.

WTH is he doing in our White House? Radical leader supporting mission to kill our US soldiers in Iraq gets warm... http://t.co/1Iab9B4E2v

Amazing -- the White House gates remain closed for school group tours, but open for those with ties to terror. http://t.co/1Iab9B4E2v

This according to Shaykh Abdullah bin Bayyah's website:

Shaykh Abdullah bin Bayyah visited the White House where he met with senior advisers and aides to President Obama and called for the protection of the Syrian people and the Muslim minority in Myanmar. 

The distinguished scholar Professor Abdullah bin Bayyah, President of the Global Center for Renewal and Guidance and Vice President of the International Union of Muslim Scholars, visited the White House where he met with Ms. Gayle Smith, a senior aide to President Barack Obama, and Mr. Rashad Hussain, U.S. Ambassador to the Organization of the Islamic Conference. He also met with a number of experts including the director of public relations in the White House and representatives from seven government agencies. 

Shaykh Abdullah bin Bayyah addressed the audience by speaking about humanity’s need for two kinds of justice, namely: a) justice in which everyone is equal and one person does not oppress another, nor does one state oppress another state, and b) a justice specific to the powerful, which is to help lift the injustices from vulnerable peoples such as the Syrian people, the Palestinians, and the Muslims in Myanmar. In this context, Shaykh bin Bayyah thanked President Obama for demanding the rights of the Rohingya minority in Myanmar (formerly Burma) during his recent visit there. Likewise, the Shaykh called on the U.S. government for urgent action to help lift the injustice on the Syrians. 

Apparently Palin's advice is to bar influential Muslim clerics requesting help for their people from having access to officials in America, Or simply have them refuse to speak to them, even if by doing so we could perhaps develop a relationship that is not based on us bombing their countrymen back into the stone age.

You know the part that REALLY irritates me is that the Republicans have been beating the drums trying to get the President to get more involved in Syria, yet as he is trying to gather data on who to help, and how to help them, he gets this dipshit and her pals at Fox News attacking him for it.

Its called diplomacy, and if the White House aides refused to meet with anybody from the Middle East even tangentially connected to a possible "pro-terrorist" group, who would they have left to meet with?

Perhaps she would like to bring these concerns up with David Plouffe? After all that worked out so well for her last time.

David Plouffe schools Sarah Palin on Twitter.

"Scandals" falling apart. Immigration moving apace. Big leadership moment on climate tomorrow. POTUS steady throughout. DC CW off again.

@davidplouffe Is this all a game to you and your ilk? Your messiah's "Transformation of America" is destruction of America.

@SarahPalinUSA Jobs up, unemp down, war over, terrorists dead, autos humming, equality rising, clean energy up. Reality. You should try it.

I'm sorry since when does Palin think she can argue with the big boys?

Plouffe will bitchslap her all the way back to Wasilla.
